This was long overdue. It has been almost 9 years since the inauguration of this site. It has been mostly dormant for the last 4-5 years while I was focusing on my other Collections. Specially my postcard collection has significantly increased which you can see in postcards.turkishpostalhistory.com link. I hope you enjoy the new design. If you'd like to get in touch with me, please use the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page.

There is a new section in the website about First and Special Day covers in my collection. You will find the link on the left in the main menu. This area is not one of my collection interests but I have acquired some through time and continue to get new ones through subscription. I hope this will serve as a reference to those of you who are interested in this area.

On this subject I also would like to share a wonderful book of Mr. Kaya Dorsan, "Turkish Commemorative Postmarks (1923-2000)" which is truly a wonderful reference book.

Special day cover with the value of 1,50 TL due to 400th Year of Diplomatic Relations between Turkey and Holland will be put up for sale at the date of 03.09.2012.
